Carrier stays in US

[John V]

My comment about stone users was to draw attention to the fact that we *have no* large population of inherently unable people among us.

Unable for what? As I asked - are there not people who can work in a factory, but couldn't program a computer, even with training?

There are plenty of people who are limited by intelligence or other qualities, and training can't fix that. If you think everyone working at Wal Mart could prosper in the new economy if just given some training, you're kidding yourself.

While it's entirely likely that there will be a future where most work is automated, I think that future undercuts your point severely. With a large population that is unable to engage in significant economic activity,  redistribution of wealth is politically required or there will be revolution from either above (genocide) or below.

I'm advocating redistribution of wealth...just in a way that lets people have a decent job and some self-respect.
